How to eliminate the most common stains
Ink and biro Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol or alcohol at 90. Tar Dab with fresh butter, rub in turpentine then wash immediately. Wax Scrape away, then run a hot iron between two sheets of absorbent paper. Then rub in cotton with turpentine or methyl alcohol. Chewing gum Rub in nail polish remover and wipe with a clean rag. Mold Cotton and white linen should be placed in a solution of 5 parts water, one bleach and a spoon of vinegar, then washed immediately. For other white fabrics, use hydrogen peroxide at 10 volumes and wash immediately. Lipstick Dab with ether on wool or cotton. Use tricloroetilene for silk. Nail polish Place a sheet of absorbent paper on the side of the stain, wet it with nail polish remover, shifting the garment as the sheet gradually changes colour. Grass Dab with a wad of cotton soaked in methyl alcohol.

Never use your washerdryer to wash. torn, fraying or non-hemmed linen. If it is absolutely neccessary, place it in a bag for protection. Do not wash coloured linen with whites. Watch the weight! For best results, do not exceed the weight limits stated below (figures show weight of dry garments): - Resistant fabrics: 5,5 kg maximum - Synthetic fabrics: 2.5 kg maximum - Delicate fabrics: 2 kg maximum - Pure new wool: 1 kg maximum How much does it weigh? 1 sheet 400-500 gr. 1 pillow case 150-200 gr. 1 tablecloth 400-500 gr. 1 bathrobe 900-1,200 gr. 1 towel 150-250 gr. Coloured T-shirts, printed ones and shirts last longer if turned inside out before washing. Printed T-shirts and sweatshirts should always be ironed inside out. Dungaree alert. Very popular salopette type overalls have straps with hooks that can damage the drum of your washer-dryer or other garments during the wash. To minimise the risk, place hooks in the pocket and fasten with safety pins. Holidays: unplug the appliance. It is recommended that you should unplug the machine from the socket and turn off the water supply. Leave the door ajar to allow air circulation to the draw and the door gasket area.This will prevent unpleasant odours.

WOOL CYCLE

For best results, we recommend you use a specific detergent, taking care not to wash more than 1 kg of laundry.
How to wash almost anything
Curtains. Curtains tend to crease a great deal. A useful tip to reduce creasing: fold the curtains and place them in a pillow case or mesh bag. Do not load anything else inside the appliance, this will ensure that the overall weight does not exceed the half load. Remember to use the specific programme 8 which automatically excludes the spin cycle. Quilted coats and anorak. You can wash quilted coats and wind-cheaters, too, if they are padded with goose or duck down. Do not load more than 2-3 kg and never load 5,5 kg. Repeat rinse once or twice using the gentle spin. Trainers. Once you have removed mud and dirt from trainers, you can even wash them with jeans or any other tough garments. Do not wash trainers with whites.

Its important for a good wash
Useful tips about the detergent dispenser
The first secret is the easiest: the detergent dispenser is opened by pull it outwards.
You must follow the dosage recommendations provided by the manufacturers when adding detergent or fabric conditioner. Doses will vary according to the wash load, the water hardness and how soiled the washing is. Experience will help you select the right dosage almost automatically: it will become your secret. Ensure no overfilling when adding fabric conditioner in compartment 3. The washer-dryer automatically adds the softener to the wash in each programme. Liquid detergent is poured into compar tment 2 just a few seconds before starting the wash cycle. Remember that liquid detergent is only designed for wash cycles of up to 60 degrees on non pre-wash items. Special containers are sold with liquid or powder detergents for placing inside the washer-dryer drum, these are positioned according to the instructions found in the detergent box Never use hand wash detergent, because it may form too much foam, which could damage the washer-dryer. Detergents that are specifically formulated for both hand and machine wash are an exception. One last secret: when washing with cold water, always reduce the amount of detergent you use: it dissolves less easily in cold water than in hot water, so part of it would be wasted.
In compartment 1: Detergent for pre-washing (powder) In compartment 2: Detergent for washing (powder or liquid)
In compartment 3: Additives (softeners, perfumes, etc.)
The detergent dispenser can be removed and cleaned: pull it outwards, as indicated in the figure. Then leave it under running water for a few minutes.
Cutting costs efficiently
A guide to environmentally friendly and economic use of your appliance.
MAXIMISE THE LOAD SIZE Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size. SAVE up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads. DO YOU NEED TO PRE-WASH? For heavily soiled laundry only! SAVE detergent, time, water and between 5 to 15% energy consumption by NOT selecting Prewash for slight to normally soiled laundry. IS A HOT WASH REQUIRED? Pretreat stains with stain remover or soak dried in stains in water before washing to reduce the necessity of a hot wash programme. SAVE up to 50% energy by using a 60C wash programme. BEFORE USING A DRYING PROGRAMME. SAVE energy and time by selecting the highest suitable spin speed to reduce the water content in laundry before using a drying programme.

Troubleshooting

Before calling, read the following

In most cases, when your washer-dryer fails to work, the problems arising can be easily solved without having to call for a technician. Before calling for assistance, always check these points. The washer-dryer fails to start.
Is the plug correctly inserted into the socket? It could have been moved whilst cleaning. Is there electricity in the house? A circuit breaker may have switched off as a result of too many electrical appliances working at the same time. Or maybe due to a general failure in your entire area. Is the washer-dryer door closed properly? For safety reasons, the washer-dryer cannot work if the door is open or not shut properly. Is the On/Off button pressed? If it is, then a programmed start has been set. Is the programmed start knob, in the correct position for those models concerned? Is the water supply turned on? For safety reasons, if the washer-dryer does not load water, it cannot start a wash cycle. off, select one of the symbols stop/reset , then switch it back on. If the knob continues to turn, call for assistance because it is showing an anomaly.
But where did all the water go?
Simple: with the new Indesit technology, you need less than half of it, to get good results on twice as much! This is why you cannot see the water through the door: because there is little, very little of it, to respect the environment yet without renouncing maximum cleanliness. And, on top of that, you are also saving electricity.
The washer-dryer fails to fill with water.
Turn off the water supply after use. This will eliminate the possibility of leakage. Always leave the appliance door ajar to avoid bad odours. Clean the appliances exteriors gently. To clean the exteriors and the rubber parts of the appliance, always use a soft cloth dipped in warm and soapy water.
Leave the washer-dryer plugged in while cleaning. Even during maintenance, the appliance should always be unplugged. Use solvents and aggressive abrasives. Never use solvents or abrasives to clean the external and rubber parts of the washer-dryer. Neglect the detergent dispenser. It is removable and can easily be cleaned by leaving it under running water. Go on holiday without thinking about her. Before leaving, always make sure that the washer-dryer is unplugged and that the water supply is turned off.

Is the hose correctly connected to the tap? Is there a water shortage ? There could be work in progress in your building or street. Is there sufficient water pressure? The autoclave may be malfunctioning. Is the tap filter clean? If the water is very calcareous, or if work has recently been carried out on the water piping, the tap filter could be clogged with particles and debris. Is the rubber hose kinked? The tract of the rubber hose bringing water to washerdryer must be as straight as possible. Make sure it is not squashed or kinked.
The washer-dryer continuously fills and drains water.
Is the drain hose positioned too low? It must be installed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm. Is the end of the hose immersed in water? Does the wall drainage system have a breather pipe? If the problem persists even after these checks, turn the water supply off the machine and call for assistance. If you live on an upper floor of your building, there may be a problem with your drain trap. To solve this problem, a special valve must be installed.
The programme selector knob keeps turning?
Wait a few minutes for the drain pump to empty the tub, switch the washer-dryer
23 Instructions for installation and use
Is the drain hose kinked? The tract of the drain hose must be as straight as possible. Make sure the drain hose is not squashed or kinked. Is the washer-dryers drain duct clogged? Is there an extension of the drain hose? If so, is it positioned incorrectly, blocking the water flow?
Is there space between the machine and adjacent units? If it is not a built-in model, the washer-dryer will oscillate a bit during the spin cycle. A few cm of space should therefore be left around it.
The washer-dryer does not drain or spin.
Does the selected programme incorporates water draining? Some programmes stop at the end of the wash cycles and draining will have to be selected manually. Is the Easy iron" function -where provided - enabled? This function requires manual selection for draining. Is the drain pump clogged? To check it, turn off the water supply, unplug the washerdryer and follow the instructions on page 26, or call for technical assistance.

Too much foam.

Is the detergent appropriate for machine washing? Check whether the definition on its label reads for machine wash or hand and machine wash, or any other similar wording.

The washer-dryer leaks.

Is the metal ring of the inlet hose properly attached? Turn off the water supply, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment without forcing it. Is the detergent dispenser obstructed? Remove and wash it under tap water. Is the drain hose well attached? Turn off the water supply, unplug the appliance and try tightening its attachment.
Excessive vibration during the spin cycle.
Have all transit screws been removed durind installation? See the following page on installation procedures. Has the washer-dryer been levelled correctly? The levelling of the appliance should be checked periodically. Adjust the feet and check them with a level.
Is the correct amount being used? An excessive amount of detergent, besides producing too much foam, does not guarantee a more effective wash, and causes scaling in the internal parts of the appliance.
The washer-dryer does not dry.
Check whether: the plug has been correctly inserted into the socket; there is electricity in your home; the appliance door has been shut properly; a delayed start (if available) has not been selected; programme knob A has been set to position (Stop/Reset); the drying cycle knob C has been set to position 0.
Always get assistance from authorised technicians and always insist on original spare parts.

Installation and removal

When the new washerdryer arrives
Whether new or just transported to a new house, installation is extremely important for the correct functioning of your washer-dryer.

Connecting the drain hose There are two hooks (right or left) on the rear of your washer-dryer to which the drain hose is to be fixed. Insert the other end in a stand pipe or place it on the edge of a sink or tub avoiding excessive kinks and bending. It should be placed at a height ranging from 60 to 100 cm. If it is necessary to fix the end of the hose at a height below 60 cm from the ground, it must be fixed in the appropriate hook placed on the upper part of the back panel.
The end of the drain hose must be positioned so that it cannot become submerged. Extensions are unadvisable. In case of absolute need, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 150 cm. In case of wall draining pipes, their efficiency must be checked by a qualified technician. If the dwelling is on one of the upper floors of a building, there may be drain trap problems causing the washer-dryer to load and unload water continuously. In order to avoid such an inconvenience, special anti-drain trap valves are available in shops.
Warning! The company denies all liability if and when these norms are not respected. Plastic bags, expanded styrofoam, nails and other packaging parts are not childrens toys, and are potentially dangerous.

Easy Care and Maintenance
Treat your machine well and it will provide many years of trouble free service
Your washer-dryer is a reliable companion in life and on the job. It is just as important for you to keep it in shape.
Your washer-dryer is designed to provide reliable service over many years. A few simple steps will help to prolong its life and avoid problems. It is advisable, to turn off water taps when the machine is not to be used, this protects the hoses, etc. If the water in your area is too hard, use a deliming product (water is hard if it often leaves whitish stains around taps or drains, especially of bath tubs. For more accurate information as to the type of water in your system, call the local water works or a local plumber). Pockets must always be emptied removing even pins, badges and any other hard object. The washer-dryer exterior should be cleaned with a rag dipped in lukewarm water and soap.

It is important to wash the detergent dispenser regularly. To prevent dried washing powder from accumulating, place the dispenser under running water for a few minutes.
Never exaggerate with doses. Normal detergents already contain deliming agents. Only if the water is particularly hard, that is, rich in lime content, do we recommend the use of a specific product at every wash. A periodical wash cycle with a dose of a deliming product, without detergents or washing, may prove useful. Never use too much detergent or additives because this could cause an excess amount of foam, scaling and possible damage to the component parts of your washer-dryer.
Do not forget to empty all pockets: small objects can cause damage to your washer-dryer.
When in need, check the pump and the rubber hose.
The washer-dryer comes equipped with a self-cleaning pump that does not require any cleaning or maintenance. Small objects may accidentally fall into the pump: coins, hair clips, loose buttons and other small items. To avoid possible damage, they are withheld in an accessible pre-chamber, situated at the lower end of the pump. Attention: Before attempting to examine this pre-chamber, first ensure that the machine has finished its programme and is empty. Unplug the machine, as with any maintenance. To gain access gently ease down the top of the plinth panel situated at the base of the machine, with a screwdriver etc, to release it. Then ease the top edge forward to allow it to be lifted clear (Fig. 1). Place a shallow dish or tray below the cover of the pre-chamber to catch the small amount of water present. Release the cover by turning anticlockwise (Fig. 2). Ensure that the cover is securely replaced. Re-fit the plinth cover by inserting the hooks on its lower edge into the slots and ease the top edge back into position.

Fig. 2
The water inlet hose Check the rubber hose at least once a year. If you see any cracks, replace it immediately. When you use your washer-dryer, water pressure is very strong and a cracked tube could easily split open.

Instructions for installation and use 26
Important for the safe use of your washer-dryer
Your safety and that of your family
Read these instructions and all the information in this manual carefully: they are an important source, not only of numerous useful tips, but also of vital information on safety, use and maintenance. 1. the machine should not be installed in an outdoor environment, not even when a roof shelters the area, because it may be very dangerous to leave it exposed to rain and thunderstorms. 2. It must only be used by adults and exclusively for washing clothes following the instructions provided in this manual. 3. Should it have to be moved, proceed with the help of two or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy. 4. Before loading the washerdryer, make sure the drum is empty. 5. Never touch the washerdryer when barefoot or with wet or damp hands or feet. 6. Never use extensions or multiple plugs, which are particularly dangerous in humid environments. The power supply cable must never be bent or dangerously compressed.
I only want an authorised specialised technician with original Indesit spare parts!
Your washer-dryer has been built in compliance with the strictest international safety regulations. To protect you and all your family.
8. Never pull on the supply cable or the washer-dryer to disconnect it from the wall socket: it is extremely dangerous. 9. While the appliance is functioning, do not touch the drain water as it could reach very high temperatures. The appliance door, during wash cycles, tends to become hot; ensure that children do no touch it. Never force the washerdryer door because this could damage the safety lock which prevents accidental opening when the nachine is working. Allow a few minutes at the end of the program for the lock to release. 10. In case of malfunctioning, first close the water tap and unplug the appliance from the wall socket; do not under any circumstances touch internal parts in order to attempt repairs.

The washer-dryer power supply cable is special and can be purchased exclusively from authorised Technical Service Centres. To replace the cable: 1. Make sure that the machine is switched off and unplugged. 2. Remove the covering lid by unscrewing the two screws I, and then pull it towards you [fig. 3]. 3. Disconnect the wires from the radio interference suppressor F [fig. 4] noting as to their position (Blue=N wire; Brown=L wire) leaving the earth wire until last. N.B.: letters L, N and the symbol are indicated on the radio interference suppressor. 4. Remove the upper part of the cable slightly from the back panel of the appliance, pull the power supply cable upwards and take it out [fig. 5]. To connect the new power supply cable, reverse the procedure. To put the covering lid back on, rest it on the washer-dryer [fig. 6] and let it slide forwards until the hooks situated on the front slide into the special slots formed into the control panel and tighten the screws back on.
